Aaron Burnett: Jazz Musician in New York

About Aaron Burnett

Aaron Burnett is a New York City–based musician working at the edges of classical practice and improvisation. At Roulette, he leads Aaron Burnett and the Big Machine, a flexible ensemble heard in projects such as *Quantum Breaks II* with trumpeter Peter Evans, drummer Nick Jozwiak, bassist Carlos Homs, and composer and multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey. Burnett’s writing leans toward open forms that treat rhythm and timbre as structural material. The performances favor investigation over polish, with room for risk and real-time decisions.
